Power of Recovery Walks
Week 5 of the 10km (Novice) schedule!
Into the second half of the program. Miles has been training consistently for the past 4 weeks, following the program as closely as possible.
But as Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”. The best of plan may still need adjustments.
Due to work commitments, Miles had to work late into the night (Morning to be exact) on Wednesday, and thus had to skip the Thursday morning run. But fortunately, he could make it up by running on Friday morning.
But that would mean, back-to-back runs on Friday and the long run on Saturday.

Keeping both weekdays run of 4.8km and 3.2km around 140 bpm average HR and pace of 8:08 and 8:06 mins/km respectively. Miles believe his body is adjusting well to the program.
However, he will have to see if fatigue has set in now that he is starting the second half of the program.
Recovery is key so as to run longer. Miles is determined to make the best use of his recovery days to allow his body to rest and recover quickly for the coming week’s challenges.
